Roppongi has the country’s longest history with the Western market. The on-going US military presence after the war brought many American brands and goods to the area. As such Roppongi was an interesting place for Japanese people to see and learn about the people from west and all their commercial products.

Today Roppongi still attracts many foreigners for its international brand stores. Complex shopping malls in Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Midtown developments offer days of shopping opportunities within spacious air-conditioned mazes of fashion, design and variety shops.
